The past few years I have been toying with the idea of starting to make things to sell. It all started about 6 years ago with me really wanting to go on Vans Warped tour in America and as I'm not in a band (and could never be) the only option I would ever have is by having a stall and selling merchandise. Anyway every summer holidays I would procrastinate and get nothing really started, mainly because 1. there is so much to do that I have no idea where to start and 2. to start properly you need money.
So, I have been trying to get a job for ages now and as I have no experience I get nowhere and at the age of 20 I find it so embarrassing that I have never had a real job. As I don't have the money or means to start a clothing business/label at the moment I thought that I should start smaller. Over the past year I have been slowly buying jewellery supplies (most of which have been wrong and a waste of money), finally I came up with a product that I am happy with.
I am now researching ways to get my product out there and sell it, so to start off I listed one on eBay, it has less than a day left (only listed it for 3) but has only had 1 view so it's a little disheartening. Anyway I will be looking into the likes of etsy.com and bigcartel.com and just wanted to know if anyone had any tips or advice for me??
Please leave any tips in the comments below, I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
